I'm about a thousand years late to reply, but thanks for including me :D AND: my first purchase was an album by an unknown folk band from Israel busking in the streets of Lisbon years ago... Can't recall the name now, alas. They were really good, highly danceable.

bluesky had a "what album did you buy for the first time with your own money?" post going around and I thought I'd bring it over here

I had to buy this TWICE on cassette because i listened to the first cassette so much player ate the tape. which is why i do not understand the return of cassettes, lol, because it was always a matter of time before it was OVER.

"Do you remember--"

"I have a...very good memory, thank you."

"Do you ever wonder what life would have been like if you'd said yes?" said Ridcully.

"No."

"I suppose we'd have settled down, had children, grandchildren, that sort of thing..."

Granny shrugged. It was the sort of thing romantic idiots said. But there was something in the air tonight...

"What about the fire?" she said.

"What fire?"

"Swept through our house just after we were married. Killed us both."

"What fire? I don't know anything about any fire?"

Granny turned around.

"Of course not! It didn't happen. But the point is, it might have happened. You can't say 'if this didn't happen then that would have happened' because you don't know everything that might have happened. You might think something'd be good, but for all you know it could have turned out horrible. You can't say 'if only I'd...' because you could be wishing for anything. The point is, you'll never know. You've gone past. So there's no use thinking about it. So I don't."
